What neglected horses look like.

* NONE of these horses are from the Turn 3 Ranch.

ALL of the photos were found on news sites or captured from news video. They involve recent cases—most of them still open, with charges pending, that have not yet gone to trial.





This is apparent, alleged neglect. Open case in Florida.
See the pronounced dip between the spine and hip?



This is apparent, alleged neglect. Open case in Oregon.
NOTE: Authorities seized the three malnourished horses
and did not seize the four healthy horses.



This is apparent, alleged neglect. Open case in Michigan.
NOTE: Authorities seized this malnourished mare
(who has no teeth, by the way) and also four other horses;
however, the other horses seized appear healthy.



Open case in New York.
The horse on the left is malnourished.
The horse on the right is underweight.

Can you see the difference? I can point out several.



This is emaciated. Open case in New Mexico.
Allegedly abandoned in this condition.

I have never seen a horse this bad, ever.



This is apparent, alleged neglect. Open case in Illinois.
This does not happen overnight.

The horse could barely move and was destroyed.






If someone is guilty of intentionally neglecting horses, they should face the consequences.

If someone is struggling to care for their horses and needs help, they should get assistance.

If someone is caring for their horses and meeting their needs, taking action to treat disease and injury, they should not be treated as animal torturers.
